Carpark Scenario

At 8 am, you're outside with Anthony and the pre-school class. Your pre-school yard backs onto the service's carpark and even though the fence is quite high, you need to engage in appropriate supervision, as children like to stand near the fence and wave goodbye to their parents. As you're supervising the children waving goodbye, Anthony walks over and asks how your weekend was. Without thinking, you turn your back on the children at the fence and start chatting.

Suddenly, one of the children, Sarah, comes over to you, points and says with a sense of urgency, "Carlos' gone fence." You quickly turn around and see that Carlos is running through the carpark after his mum, who is just leaving (having climbed over the fence).

You frantically jump over the fence and chase after Carlos and manage to catch him and grab his hand before a car can hit him. You bring Carlos back to the yard, where he runs off to play with the other children.

1. After all serious incidents (such as with Carlos), it is essential to review the risk management plan, conduct a risk assessment and take action to eliminate or control the risk happening again. Your job is to apply the principles of risk management as a Lead Educator.

Commence writing out a Risk Assessment Form template for the Carpark scenario. For this you must:

a. Identify two (2) hazards.

b. For each hazard, identify the risks associated with the hazard. A minimum of one (1) risk per hazard is required.

c. Assess the likelihood of each risk identified occurring using the Risk Matrix.

d. Assess the severity of consequence using the Risk Matrix.

e. Calculate a risk rating per risk, using the Risk Matrix.

2 .Refer to Little Catalysts policies and procedures to understand roles and responsibilities, as they currently stand (i.e., Supervision).

3. Reflect on your completed risk assessment and assess what the residual risk of an incident occurring like this would be after the new control measures are implemented.

a. What is the residual risk (low, medium or high)?

b. Discuss your reasons for this rating.

c. How well is the risk now managed or eliminated? (Give reasons for your answer.)
